micksta Member 159 Member For: 20y 8m 26d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 28/05/08 12:17 PM Share Posted 28/05/08 12:17 PM Hi GuysRan my car at WSID the other week and the best result was 13.1.I was on street tyres and there was next to no wheel spin.Stalled it to about 3000RPM, which may not be enough. Its an 4 speed auto BTW.Pretty disappointed at that time considering I'm running a phase three with 315 ATW at my disposal.I’m going back in a couple of weeks, so I’m looking for some tips.Dose that sound right on street tyres and will semi slicks make that much difference?One thing I noticed was the car started pinging just before the ¼ line, so I may have a fuel supply issue.What do you guys think?

I don't think you need to stall that high, someone will have a better idea about this than me Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/46026-first-run-at-wsid/#findComment-683834 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a T56 manual and ran 13.0 @ 111MPH with 2.1 60'When is the next time you are going out? maybe some of us can meet up and spot your runs. We might be able to give you some pointers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/46026-first-run-at-wsid/#findComment-683858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
